How to change the text color in a TextView in Android?

So i am trying to make a code which will change the color of the text in a textView I declared the color in the XML as this:

<color name="right">#FF00FF00</color>

However, when I try to change the color of the TextView score, in the following:

if(input.equalsIgnoreCase(answer+"")){
        numRight++;
        score.setTextColor(R.color.right);
        correct="Correct!";
    }

The text just dissapears. Am I referencing the color wrong? why doesnt this work?

I hope it will work properly. 

textView1.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.all));

all is name which is pertaining to color define in xml file like that.

<color name= "all">#ffffff</color>

you can use also below format it is working properly for me.

textView1.setTextColor(0xff000000);

You are referencing it incorrectly:

score.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.right);
